空氣乾冷，每次呼吸都會令肺部生起輕微灼痛之感。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM90JqVikT

帶娣不期然騰出手來，將掩鼻布巾稍稍拉整，以保存溫熱濕潤的鼻息。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLIrULMioN

「若有快馬一匹，那該多好！」她心想。雖說不是弱質纖纖大家閨秀，但背負整整一籃子大蘿蔔在寒冬雪地上陡步行走於她亦是一件苦事。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7o1XIdhqE
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXeDVo4KVP
「小姐。」忽爾有道男聲叫住帶娣：「有興趣占卦嗎？」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijBletABJL
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPsGqEvO7l
帶娣循聲望去，只見不遠處梅樹下有一老者正在向她點首微笑。沒有回應的必要，但帶娣自然而然地回了句：「不了。沒錢。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNClhgRZ4N
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyosbGEB3O
「免費的。」老者沒有絲毫不悅，掏扇撥涼。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm8Pot6Wf3
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkrYdfF7hw
「那麼好？」帶娣生起戒心——世上哪可能有這麼便宜的事情？480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh699kns2zp
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepMhmrvk5e
「占卦師乃神明和凡人之橋樑，工作不外乎『為凡人找答案』和『為神明傳遞訊息』。」光頭紅頰白長鬚的老者笑意盈盈，遠看活像寺廟神像。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdFpJ0J9PL
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELCtmnaCrP
「我沒需要找答案。」帶娣斷言拒絕，再次開步。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJjgMpS1F5
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofS2KM5KZC
「但神明託我傳訊息給你。」老者不急不躁，語速不徐不疾：「關於你的終身大事。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGNg7f7mzN
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvky14jGuk3
這話正中帶娣下懷——終身大事！480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qsqgtzhH6
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnFvawg5Zh
農村女大多十三、十四歲時出嫁，以早日生孩子，為夫家提供更多工作人口。而且農村人自知身份卑微，對成親對象沒多要求，只消四肢健全、頭腦正常、能夠正常工作，再醜再窮亦不會乏人問津。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPT72ElQ9L
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy14BtHyqmL
但單身的帶娣下個月將要踏入十九歲！480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6RAcmBupl
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jByx5rxH6
怎麼會無人提親？不知有多少鄉里背著她議論紛紛，甚至有人已認定帶娣是個壞孬子，有意無意疏遠她、孤立她……480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZnKsSspmt
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbxHUcdJmU
帶娣神色緊張，急步走向老者，恭敬誠懇道：「請你為我占卦吧。」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiChBNz80g
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlKIkkhBEL
老者樂呵呵的，欣然答應。唸咒。神明附身，雪地寫字，神明歸位。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdMihNg9e7
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmICftEn1n
老者甫看見地上文字，立即換上一臉驚喜：「恭喜你！神明說你的真命天子將於小寒當日子時路經這梅花樹！你們會一見鍾情，共諧連理，白頭到老！」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCwHlsq3Th
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V0fhp3kgb
帶娣聞言大樂，主動奉上三條大蘿蔔送予老者表達謝意。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V13sos6vs
回家以後，帶娣一直心心念念小寒當日將會出現的那抹身影。神不守舍，工作頻頻犯錯，招致金錢損失。老爹問清緣故後悖然大怒：「你這笨蛋！怎麼會相信占卦這回事？動動腦筋吧！」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AOd5UPB2C
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsU2S4SPhb
罵聲震天，吵得鄰居們清楚聽到對話內容。帶娣成為村中笑柄，人人皆拿她當笑料。自尊受損，帶娣提不起勁工作，乾脆窩在家裡呆等小寒到來。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm4noGXeZq
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwRqb2fgdz
顏面受損，加上帶娣不願工作，老爹對帶娣更是沒甚麼好臉色。某夜，老爹再次因瑣碎小事對帶娣大發脾氣。盛怒之下，他失控暴打帶娣。帶娣咬緊牙關，不吭一聲，雙臂抱頭護著臉蛋，心中只求不要被打得臉青鼻腫，以免在真命天子心中留下不好印象。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjtWBRBOmq

踏入亥時，帶娣所有家人已倒頭大睡。她抵著劇痛起床，匆匆梳洗打扮，披上厚衣離家，趕在子時之前到達梅花樹下。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf4lxaRf4d

「會。」她再三告訴自己，強要自己堅持下去。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xoyF8wT1
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXRE1z0RH5
對方會嫌棄她是窮困潦倒的大齡農家女嗎？480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsu2TlCUzp
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AmMZiZLpL
「不會。」她不停催眠自己，未來夫君定會待她如珠如寶。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0WfX6lOAK

身體的痛、環境的寒和內心對幸福愛情的憧憬形成強烈對比，她的思緒於希望與失望之間來回跳躍。忐忑、不安、未知將她情緒推向極致。不可以！她誓要把眼淚強忍下來——總不能甫見面就哭得一塌糊塗。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SxzZjVEFv

痛。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStCwGdcXbQ
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2uaUu66MY
頭痛欲裂。後腦剛才被老爹重擊過，加上此刻寒風吹襲，受傷位置彷如被巨石擠壓，思緒漸見不清。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYZmfpIPGt
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mpOFev35
這棵樹？那棵樹？哪棵才是神明所講的梅花樹？480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14omHij8DE

帶娣意識到自己沒可能在一片樹林中找到那棵樹。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka9BubypO4

帶娣抬頭，驚見不遠處聳立一棵參天梅花樹。她連忙止住哭聲，撐起身子往梅花樹跑去。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXAumSTu7x
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmcgomhNC
樹下有人影。對方面朝前方、背對她。帶娣不假思索，衝前從後環抱對方。對方沒有掙扎，轉過身來將她擁入懷裡。帶娣哭，哭中帶笑，笑容裡滿是幸福快樂：「是真的！真的有人會愛我！」480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImSkERTeO
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET3ncPbPwS
她抬起頭，想要看看真命天子的臉。誰料天上繁星突然變亮，星光耀眼得她再也睜不開眼……480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SRGCv3HTe
日。眾人在樹林中找到她的遺體。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pVNEJfE2c

老爹呼天搶地，自責對帶娣動粗。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1NzsRcG8T

村民口頭上紛表惋措，說帶娣其實是個很不錯的女生。480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KulR07DzO
480Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzy5ujVOrr
老者從路人口中聽見帶娣遭遇，心裡發笑：「她真笨！我為了騙幾個大蘿蔔而亂說一通，怎麼她會相信？」
